Analyze your work and your days! II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Good morning, dear friends! I bless you this day in the name of Jesus Christ!
Yesterday we talked about how important it is to stop and assess our activities.

Despite the fact that God is perfect, He stopped and analyzed things He had done. If God stopped to give account to Himself, then we – sinful people – absolutely need to do it. I am sure God has given us an example of daily and repeated analysis of our lives.
Today I would like to talk some more about it.

In order for us to analyze our day, first of all we need to see that God had a plan of what He wanted to get done. He had a plan, a dream, and a vision of the world He wanted to create. We cannot effectively analyze our day and our life without a concrete plan. You need to start your analysis with a question about your plans. Ask yourself: „Do I have a plan for my life?”
Let’s start with a single day, – do you have a plan for this or the next day? If you do, then ask yourself whether this plan is based on God’s perception of your life? Does your plan include God’s vision of your life? Does this plan bring you closer to the goal of God in your life, or you live the way you like without any plan or design? Does this plan bring you closer to what you want to become and to the goal you want to reach in your life?
If you do have a plan, you have to ask yourself the following questions: What is going well and what is not? What is going right and what is not? What should I change? Should I repent of some things and what I want to thank God for? What will my next steps be? What am I doing tomorrow?
If you won’t analyze your life on a consistent basis, continuously comparing your plans with the will of God for your life, you will end up wasting your life, but that is not the will of God for any of us.

I pray for God to give wisdom to every one of us so that our lives would be effective and bring joy to us, to God and to the people around us.
Be blessed!
We will continue tomorrow.

God’s peace to you!
Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

  • Faith without love is not biblical faith!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    If you have faith, but do not have love, then, according to Paul, you are “sounding brass and a clanging cymbal” and you are “nothing”. Faith without love does not work. That is why it is so important to learn to walk in love. Otherwise our hearts won’t be able to go through the last day attacks. Faith will not work without love! What are you going to do when people will hate, persecute and hurt you? Will you get offended and look for the ways to pay them back and do evil? That is the reaction of flesh; that is the reaction of a natural man.

  • Lust brings sin, and sin brings death

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    «Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.» (James 1:13-17).

  • Worthy Goal for Life II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Yesterday we started talking about our goals. Everyone has them. We discussed that there are worthy and less worthy goals. We also saw that after meeting Christ, Paul devoted his life to Him; earnest expectation of Christ to be glorified in his body and through his life became his main goal in life. It is very important to ascertain for ourselves what our goals are. You and I have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ and we have peace with God. But it is just the beginning. Having been reconciled with God is just the beginning of the Christian walk. What awaits us afterwards? Through faith we gain Access to God’s grace and we expect the glory of God to be progressively revealed in us and through us.

    To call upon God – it means to have a stable prayer life. God desires you to have consistent and stable prayer life. You have to have a place where you call upon Him. «But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly» (Mathew, 6:6).

    «We have heard with our ears, O God, our father have told us, the deeds You did in their days, in days of old: You drove out the nations with Your hand, but them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out. For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favoured them» (Psalm 44:1-3).

  • God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    God cleanses me through His Word, so I have to be absorbed in it daily. It might seem to you that you are not getting anything out of it, but it is not so. When we read the Word, we receive deep cleansing, just like people get clean when they bathe. It must be done as often as possible so we would stink spiritually. If you start to notice that you are getting quick-tempered, it means you need to wash it off. If you notice your heart closing up, it means you are not reading the Word and missing the cleansing. If you notice things that do not comply with Christian standards, for example, picking a quarrel, it is a sign of not being in the Word enough.
